Why Bishop
Every Bishop bike is a collaboration between craftsman and rider. Here's what sets us apart.

Lug and fillet-brazed construction with thinned lugs and beautiful paint—the finishing flourishes on a solid foundation.

Every frame is built by hand in our Baltimore workshop. No outsourcing. No shortcuts. Just pure craftsmanship.

Testimonials
"The fit is absolutely perfect. Chris took the time to understand exactly how I ride and what I wanted. This bike is an extension of me."
"Worth every penny and every month of waiting. The craftsmanship is stunning, and the ride quality is unlike anything I've experienced."
"I've owned many bikes over the years. My Bishop is the one I'll never sell. It's not just a bike—it's a work of art that I get to ride."
I build every frame myself, which means I can only take on a limited number of projects each year. Current wait time is approximately 8-12 months from deposit to delivery.
